Tomb of Dracula
Is there more than 2 versions of Tomb of Dracula? I know the original series came out in the 70s and had nudity in it. Then Marvel rereleased it last year with the nudity cut out. Was there another version in between these?
Also is unedited version sold somewhere? I doubt this but it never hurts to ask.

I don't recall there being nudity in the 70's series.

After doing much checking I see there was indeed a Tomb of Dracula and a Tomb of Dracula Magazine both done by marvel which is confusing. Both were done in the 70s and the magazine version did indeed have the nudity.
Here is what I was talking about with the nudity

I don't think the changes affect the story at all, so to some degree, it doesn't matter to me. However, there are two things that irk me.
First, I think it's downright silly to censor nudity in this instance. Especially when violence is rampant in comics and foul language is becoming more and more commonplace. What harm can a nipple do to the youth of today when we have blood and death and killing all over the place?
Second, I hate the idea of changing someone's art....ever. Especially for reasons related to money making.
Oh, and on a completely separate note, I hate to see these changes because I like boobs. Even drawn ones.

I don't like the changes, but we live in a day and age in which some rightwing whack-job can shout "What about the children!?" and if it's a slow news day, the media will run with it, and suddenly, you've got S.N.U.H. picketing outside Marvel's headquarters and whining on Larry King LIve.
